"...we're all given a negative stereotype."
when you're young, you build yourself up, train yourself, strengthen yourself, so that when you enter adolescence, you can fend for yourself with your strength, your might, your "brute force". but when you grow into adolescence, when you find one that you love, you control yourself. your strength becomes your weakness, even gaining evolution, becoming a burden to you. a control over your strength is gained, or rather, needed to prevent yourself from causing harm to your loved ones.
indeed, humans are intriguing. we strive to gain what we think we need. but in the end, we strive to prevent the thing that we thought we needed from harming those that we love, or in other words, those that we need most. we aim to become strong. but once we become strong, we control our strength. the meaningless pursuit of life continues, the cycle repeats over and over again. strength is not the only thing that humans seek, fame, fortune, materials. all this to cover up the fact that we need one thing more than all the rest, love. the ultimate cure, the elixir of life. with love, all things can be done. because love is the thing that makes the impossible possible.
as our human souls continually lie, make up stories, deceive, manipulate and create excuses, reasons and "facts" to get what we desire, we neglect the true thing that we need to do, to love others for who they are. we choose to instead focus on getting the person within our circle of influence, and then moulding them into what we think they should look like. often neglecting the fact that it's not what we want them to look like. but what they really were supposed to become.
it's not the human mind that decides the end product of a human being. what we say, may not be true. what we think, may just be a stereotypical warped delusion of the truth. our decisions and choices may be affected by our past, our perspective and culture. who then is worthy of judging, of saying what's right and what's wrong? definitely not us.
stop the hate. rid yourself of stereotypes. stop judging people. and start loving them, accepting them for who they are. childlike-ness does not mean childish-ness. being naïve is not being stupid. having hope and faith isn't being ridiculous or out of this world. not everything that you think is right. a right in your mindset, may be a wrong in another's mindset.
"...you have no reason to hate me, no excuse to ostracise me, no evidence to wrong me. consider, by any chance, if they find out the truth. what would their reactions be, would you still have that trust that they place in you? what about those who you haven't gained control over? what would you tell them, once the darkness has been unveiled?"
